'UNITED srx'rns PATENT orrion NATHAN MILLER, OF FINDLAY, OHIO.

PUIVIP.

Speccaton of Letters Patent No. 32,577, dated June 18, 1861.

T o all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, NATHAN MILLER, of Findlay, in the county of Hancockand State of Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Pump, Designed Bothfor a Stock or Cattle Pump and for Domestic Use; and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same,reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of thisspecification, in which- Figure l, is a vertical central section of myinvention, taken in the line m, Fig. 2. Fig. 2, a horizontal section ofthe same, taken in the line y, y, Fig. l.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondingparts in the twofigures.

This invention relates to an improvement in that class of pumps in whichthe water is elevated by a direct pressure of the piston, instead of thepressure of the atmosphere.

The object of the invention is to obtain a pump of the class specifiedwhich may be operated with facility, be simple in construotion andcapable by manual operation of elevating water to any desired height indwelling houses for domestic use, or capable of elevating itinout-buildings or other localities by means of the cattle or stock thelatter raising their own water.

To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and construct myinvention, l

. will proceed to describe it.

A, represents a tank or box which is placed at the bottom of the wellfrom which the water is to be forced. This box is provided with openingsa, in its sides which form a communication between the well and theinterior of the box, see Fig. l. `Within the box A, there is placed aplunger B, which is of inverted cup-form and has a packing o, at itslower edge. In the top of the plunger B, there is fitted avertical tubeO, which extends upward any desired distance, the lower end of the tubeO, communicating with the interior of the box A, as shown in Fig. l.

rights a platform I, is attached. The up` rights H, are secured in thelevers E, by pins d.

The operation is as follows: By depressing the platform I, the plungerB, will be forced down with facility owing to the connection y of theplatform and plunger by means of the levers E. The platform I, may beoperated by any lever arrangement. When the plunger B, is forced downthe water will be forced up from within the box A, through tube C, andwhen the plunger I, passes above the openings cz, the -box A, fills withwater. When the pump is arranged as a stock or cattle pump, the cattlepass on the platform I, and depress it by their own gravity, a weightbeing applied to the platform to elevate it and the plunger when thecattle pass ott' from it.

The pump possesses no parts which are liable to get out of repair orbecome deranged by use, and the pump may be very cheaply constructed.

I do not claim separately any of the parts described; but i I do claimas new and desire to secure by Letters Patent;

The combination of the platform I, box A, and plunger B, provided withthe tube C, when the platform and plunger are con` nected by the leversE, and uprights Gr, H,

arranged substantially as, and for the pur-` pose set forth.
